gut wrenching doesn't cut it. the first 30 or so minutes where we get to see and fall in love with their family dynamic is so heartwrenching. the loss of that joy (of their dad) was a light going out. they were never the same. that they didn't remember the last photo they took with their dad - oof. I was already in tears by that point.
this movie is propelled forward by amazing technical direction, narrative tension that builds insidiously in the backgroum, a phenomenal performance by Fernanda Torres, and truly stellar performances from the kids.
